This is where you'll find the obligatory misfits: content that
can't fit anywhere else, or used to have its own category but
doesn't these days.
Back in 1996 or 1997, the Oric Project had a number of logos in use,
most of which were hand-made bitmaps or badly scanned from Oric
documents or photos. When I took over the Oric Software Page for a
brief time, I decided I needed a decent logo, and made one. I used a
scanned document (I forget which), which I then traced with a nascent
pre-1.0 Gimp. I made it into a TIF and released it to the Oric
Project. Now, I find myself needing a vector one, so I traced the
original again. This time in Inkscape. Here are the results. I have
done my best to keep the Persian Flaws of the original, but couldn't
help but correct a few issues here and there. Here it is; enjoy!
This is my MSc thesis, for the MSc (by Research) in Artificial
Intelligence. The research examined the use of Rough Set Dimensionality
Reduction to simplify the exceptionally massive datasets used in Information
Filtering. The methodology was experimentally applied to the filtering of
Usolicited Commercial Email (spam) with promising results.
This is a list of academic publications produced as a direct result of
my research work in a past life.
This is my BSc dissertation, completed in the summer of 1997. For no-one in
particular's delectation and amusement, I implemented a framework for
Intelligent Agents, evolved using Genetic Algorithms, to learn about the user's
Usenet reading habits, and suggest new and interesting articles in places the
user would never think to look. The idea was for this to eventually become
either a full-blown AI newsreader (decentralised), or an NNTP proxy with agent
extensions (centralised).
One of those flash obsessions that won't let go. A
METAFONT-generated font to make basic Celtic knotwork.
This is a font and associated TeX package to typeset the Menasat
syllabary in the conventional, left-to-right, top-to-bottom
orientation. Making the font description itself was remarkably
easy. METAFONT makes it very easy to draw letterforms, especially when
emulating writing implements, which I was. The code to typeset latin
transcriptions of Menasat wasn't quite as easy. I had to code a state
machine for it, and that was the first time I ever used plain TeX for
anything at all. The code can obviously be used inside LaTeX
documents, of course.
The oldest surviving part of my first home page, circa 1994. I've generally
nothing to do with party politics, but I find these parties amusing and weird
enough to include here. For all you politics maniacs out there, I'm not judging
concepts and claimed objectives! The criterion is obscurity and weirdness.

Our business, ideas, approach and words are fresh and original, thanks to the way we Feed…
As a copywriting and content agency, creativity is our currency. We use it every day to craft compelling brand stories, shape impactful campaigns, produce stand-out online content and create original publishing concepts and print materials (find out more about our work).
Our clients are constantly pushing forward; driven to stand out in an increasingly competitive marketplace. And they need the very best words from the very best writers behind them to make that happen.
Feeding is our way of making sure everyone in our organisation has regular time and space away from client and project work to nurture their creativity, be inspired and sharpen their skills. It's fundamental to our working culture; everyone at Stranger Collective Feeds in proportion to the time they work, from our partners and full-time staff to our freelance writers. By staying well Fed, we do our jobs better – simple as that.
We use our Feed time to explore, experience, think, read, create, connect, experiment, learn – anything that gives us a fresh perspective and helps us when it comes to sparking new ideas and crafting great words. It could be going to conferences on storytelling or content marketing, exploring the world of immersive narrative, doing a film editing course, attending a poetry workshop, trying locative gaming, researching a new trend online, reading a book that's been waiting for our attention, writing for a charity, giving a lecture, or just meeting up with a contact to find out more about a possible collaboration. Or anything else for that matter.
There's just one condition: we have to write a post on our Feed blog about each Feed, so both our clients and other writers can discover what benefits and insights have come from this time.
And what difference does Feeding make? Our clients benefit because it makes us better writers, who bring sharper, better-informed ideas to the table. (And don't worry, there's always at least one partner and two members of staff here in the office to help you whenever you need it.) Our writers benefit because they relish the creative headspace, stretching themselves and continually improving the way they work. And our business benefits because Feeding encourages innovation (in fact, we've won two awards for it), boosts motivation, attracts new talent, and keeps us all happy, bright eyed and bubbling with ideas.
Are you thinking what we're thinking?

Wills - what we all should have but many do not. Something that we think we have time for but we don't. Something that we think we don't need but do. If you don't believe me, let me tell you why.
This is something that I have taught my children for years. They never go to bed without me telling them that I Love them. They never hang up the phone without hearing I Love You because you may never hear their voice again.
Do you think this sounds a big dramatic? If so then you need to click Here!! This story will explain it all to well and in detail of how not telling someone you Love them could change you. It also gives point to my topic and the fact that we all need to have a Will. Even I am guilty of not having one even today. That however, is going to change. The research is on for this one because we aren't promised tomorrow.
Here is an example of how things go after we die in regards to who gets what:
I know this is a strange subject to talk about but honestly after going through what I went through in the article above, it is worth the discussion. There are so many things that we don't think of when we are living. Who is going to be in charge of our stuff when we die? Who is going to make the arrangements? What about your kids? The other family members that your kids are close to won't be able to see anyone other then the legal parent if you die because the other parent doesn't have to let you see them.
I fought in court to see my grandchildren after my daughter died and it did me absolutely no good. I was crushed, I lost my daughter and now I have lost my grandchildren all because my daughter didn't have a Will. A simple piece of paper could have changed everything and we didn't have it. Why didn't we have it? Well to be honestly, my daughter was only 19, we didn't think she needed one. We didn't know she was going to be killed in an accident and we surely didn't think the Dad's would show up and take the kids because they didn't see them very often and my daughter had to practically beg for the one dad to take one of my grandchildren.
Did you know that every state is different when it comes to Grandparent's Rights? I had no clue. I just assumed that since she lived with me the majority of my grandchildren's lives that I would get them after she passed. Boy did I ever get a rude awakening. I haven't seen them in almost 7 years and not a day goes by that I don't think about them and miss them.
I am fortunate enough to be the executrix for the monies that was received after her death due to Auto Insurance. However, that does little for me having my daughter here with me and her children. It does her children no good with not having their mommy and the daddies bouncing from one female to another. The one constant in every child's life should be their mother. My grandchildren were robbed of this all because of some idiot and illegals in the country.
Rather you are close to your parent's or family, I beg you to write a Will and make sure that your stuff goes to where you want it, your money is where it should be and most importantly, your child/children are with who you want them to be with. Otherwise, everything goes to the biological parent that survived. Here is a list of the states with Grandparent's writes and what they all mean. I am in no way giving legal advise but I am speaking from personal experience. This isn't something you should wait for because we aren't promised another second on this earth.
Thank you for stopping by. I would love if you left a comment on how you have dealt with a Will. Do you have one? Are you planning on making one? Have you even thought about it until now?

John 5:12 (NASB)
Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not
have the Son of God does not have life.
1 John 5:12 is a simple Bible verse from the New Testament that describes the difference between the saved and the lost.
Salvation is very simple, yet we make it so complicated.
If we have accepted Christ in our hearts and asked Him for forgiveness, we are saved. If we have not accepted Christ we are not saved. It's that simple.
So the question is: If it's that simple why do so many people struggle with knowing if they are really saved, or they believe they are saved, but are afraid they can lose their salvation.
First we need to realize we cannot earn our salvation. It is a gift from God through His grace. We cannot be good enough, pray enough, read our Bible enough---there is NOTHING we can do to earn salvation!
Ephesians 2:8 says, "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;"
Ephesians tells us that grace is how we have been saved through our faith (taking God's word for it) and not from anything we can do ourselves.
I think the reason so many people struggle with their salvation is they don't know the true meaning of the word grace.
Here is the best definition I've ever seen for grace (from www.Carm.org).
Biblically, grace is unmerited favor. It is God's free action for the benefit of His people. It is different from justice and mercy. Justice is getting what we deserve. Mercy is not getting what we deserve. Grace is getting what we do not deserve. In grace we get eternal life, something that, quite obviously, we do not deserve, but because of God's love and kindness manifested in Jesus on the Cross, we receive the great blessing of redemption.
You see, salvation is not something we deserve; it is not owed to us. It's God's gift to us and the ONLY thing He asks of us is that we simply receive it.
Stop believing the lie of Satan! If you have accepted the gift of salvation, then You Are Saved!
Ephesians 1:7 says, "In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace."
Second, You Cannot Lose Your Salvation!
To believe you can lose your salvation is like telling Jesus that His life was not good enough to fully and completely save you. You are basically saying "God I know You are all powerful and the Creator of all, but you are not powerful enough to keep me from losing my salvation." It's kind of silly when we really stop and think about it.
1 John 5:13 says, "I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life."
John 10:28-30, "and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. I and the Father are one."
I love how Christ states our eternal salvation, "they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand."
Rest in the word of God. Your Salvation is Secure! There is no one greater than God, and that means no one (including you) can take away the salvation God has given to you as a believer!!!
1 John 5:12-13, "He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life."Study the Bible verse of 1 John 5:12 to know once and for all that your salvation is secure in the grace of Jesus Christ.

Audi is introducing its new "lightning speed" seven gear transmission system into several mid-range model lines this year, the company announced recently. ( dpa )
Designed to work with longitudinally installed engines and quattro all-wheel drive systems the S tronic transmission can be used in various modes, providing more comfort and economical driving, the car maker said.
In automatic mode a computer selects the gear, but the gears can also be manually switched with the shift selector lever or with the optional rocker switch on the steering wheel.
Two transmission structures are continuously active, but only one is powered at a time by the engine. When the driver accelerates in third gear, the fourth gear is engaged in the second transmission structure lying in wait. According to Audi the switching process takes only a few hundredths of a second and is so smooth that the driver hardly notices it.

Keywords the reviewer selected :
this is a good doujin for those who doesn't really need any plot or reasoning for smex, cause it's just pages and pages and pages of smex. but i like the art, the varieties of characters (human, non human, tentacles). being able to read the wordings (since i can't read the kanjis) are a plus factor to know how interesting this book is. i wish there's more pages for each scene though. it's like this is taken from several works and compiled all together into 1 highlight book.

This article is written by Avi Prasad, Rank 13, UPSC CSE 2013.
General Sources
One must have a source which provides topic-wise break up of Mains Examination questions asked in past years. I relied on the one published on UPSC portal which was just a compilation of previous years' questions under different topic heads. Yet, it was a very important tool in my preparation as it gave insight into the repetitive nature of questions asked, the variations and the important areas of syllabus. It also helped me identify parts of the syllabus that have rarely been tested by UPSC. While past is no definite indicator for the future, I took the decision to focus only on the topics which have been frequently asked by UPSC. Thus, I was able to narrow down the syllabus considerably. This strategy has held me in good stead in both my successful attempts with Law.
In this entry, I will list out the books I relied upon and how they can be used upon along with additional sources. An important source is excellent case summary of important cases published by Delhi University for its LLB course. This material is available for download at DU's website. I also read the ubiquitously called 'Dukki' (for those unfamiliar with the term; it is the 'guide-book' which is relied upon by most students of Delhi University for passing the examination held by the University). The guide-books are essentially quality notes prepared with references from multiple books. While they are very useful for some part of the syllabus, their drawback is that they don't cover the entire syllabus. However, these can be read as a basic preparatory text. There are two major publishers/authors of Dukki – Ashok Jain and Singhal. One has to compare Dukkis for each subject to ascertain which one is better for a particular subject.
Constitutional and Administrative Law: This forms the Section-A of Paper I and has four questions, of which Question No. 1 is mandatory to attempt.
Preparing for Constitutional Law
It is advisable that non-law background students opting for Law optional should first go through Indian Polity authored by Laxmikant (mainly used for prelims GS prep) as a background study. They must familiarize themselves with the language of the bare act of Constitution and the arrangements of different articles in the constitution.
My main source for preparing for this paper was "Indian Constitutional Law" by M. P. Jain, I had Sixth edition of the book and the pages and chapters mentioned in this post are with reference to that edition. However, flipkart shows that the updated 7th edition is out in the market as well. M P Jain's is a heavy and bulky book running for about two thousand pages. But one need not read the entire book to cover UPSC syllabus as it is mostly contained in 400-500 pages. The above described 'Dukkis' were not very helpful for constitutional law. However, these can be read as a basic preparatory text.
- Constitution and Constitutionalism: M P Jain has briefly discussed the meaning of these terms at the very start of the book. The question on this topic has been mostly related to nature of constitution and principles enshrined in preamble. Most important for the purpose of exam is the nature of federalism and secularism.
- Fundamental rights- The most difficult area of the syllabus, as it is very exhaustive and an evolving area of constitutional law. My strategy was to read seminal cases of constitutional law related to different fundamental rights along with the bare act. I read the cases related to constitutional law from DU case material. Further, many of the fundamental rights have evolved through public interest litigations over the years. PIL is a very important judicial innovation and one needs to understand its pros and cons. I relied on excellent articles by senior advocates and jurists in The Hindu and Indian Express for understanding contemporary issues surrounding PIL. Legal Aid etc. doesn't require any serious preparation and even basic internet research on its evolution in India is sufficient.
- Relationship between fundamental rights, directive principles and fundamental duties: Usually the question is asked related to enforceability of directive principles and fundamental duties. The significance of DP in constitution is another probable question. The entire part is covered in M P Jain pp. 1458-1523.
- Constitutional position of the President and relation with the Council of Ministers: Questions related to discretionary powers of president, relationship with council of ministers and Pardon power. Article 72 along with Article 161 (Governor's pardoning power) has assumed contemporary relevance
- Governor and his powers: Almost the same as above. M P Jain discusses these at pp. 354-358, 370-388.
- Supreme Court and High Courts:
(a) Appointments and transfer.
(b) Powers, functions and jurisdiction.
Relevant Articles -124 and 217. It is better to read the judicial pronouncements in Judges' Transfer case and subsequent case laws from DU Case material and internet. Collegium system and its suitability is a topic of contemporary relevance and have been extensively covered in media.
- Centre, States and local bodies:
(a) Distribution of legislative powers between the Union and the States (M P Jain pp. 529-533, 573-624)
(b) Local bodies.
(c) Administrative relationship among Union, State and Local Bodies. (pp. 718-737)
(d) Eminent domain – State property – common property – community property.
Local bodies and eminent domain may be ignored. Most repeated question is on pith and substance. Scheme of distribution of legislative powers is also important.
- Legislative powers, privileges and immunities (pp. 90-117, 343-347) discussed in great detail in M P Jain. It is also part of GS syllabus so can be done thoroughly.
- Services under the Union and the States:
(a) Recruitment and conditions of services; Constitutional safeguards; Administrative tribunals: a tedious topic to study and not very frequently asked. However, doctrine of pleasure is a probable question from this part.
(b) Union Public Service Commission and State Public Service Commission – Power and functions: may be ignored.
(c) Election Commission – Power and functions: hardly any question has been asked on this.
- Emergency provisions. (pp. 738-772) Questions are related only to Article 352 and 356. Judicial review of imposition of State emergency is another area of probable question and DU case material has case laws related to it.
- Amendment of the Constitution: important part of the syllabus, 'basic structure doctrine' as evolved in Kesvananda Bharti case must be conceptually understood.
Preparing for Administrative Law
12. Principles of natural justice – Emerging trends and judicial approach.
13. Delegated legislation and its constitutionality.
14. Separation of powers and constitutional governance.
15. Judicial review of administrative action.
16. Ombudsman: Lokayukta, Lokpal etc.
I will mention here that majority of my preparation was confined to constitutional law part and I approached Administrative Law only on completion of the former. The reason being that over the years administrative law questions have been rare and invariably for less marks. Further, this is the only part of the Law syllabus which is general in nature and anyone with some exposure to public administration and governance related issues will be able to at least attempt the question. Further, the choice offered in paper tempts one to skip this part altogether if one is really pressed for time for preparation. Thus, giving less emphasis to this part of the syllabus is a safe bet. However, I did go through some important cases like In Re Delhi Act for delegated legislation from the DU Case material, as delegated legislation is the most frequently asked question from this part. The questions related to natural justice often ask to comment on particular legal maxim so one should read about some oft-quoted ones.
The only book I relied upon for this paper was Administrative Law by I. P. Massey. The famous Dukki may also be read.
I shall be adding references for other parts of the syllabus soon.

Neumann Institute for Franciscan Studies
Neumann University identifies itself as a Catholic University in the Franciscan tradition and takes seriously a commitment to what it calls "the Franciscan point of difference." In August 1998, the college established the Neumann Institute for Franciscan Studies (NIFS) to advance the Catholic and Franciscan intellectual tradition. The Institute, in collaboration with the Vice President for Mission, serves the scholarly and spiritual needs of the entire University community, with a special focus on faculty support. In 2000, the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia endowed the Institute to ensure continuous quality staffing and programming. Since its founding, the Institute has undertaken many activities to help the University community understand, own, and integrate the Catholic and Franciscan mission.
Each year, the University emphasizes one of the RISES values (Reverence, Integrity, Service, Excellence, and Stewardship). During the 2017-2018 year, the focus is on the value of Excellence. In addition to promoting an exploration of the value of Excellence, the Neumann Institute will sponsor programs to increase understanding of the Characteristics of Franciscan Education.

For Veterans Who've Served Others, An Opportunity To Be Served
Homecoming for some military veterans doesn't always include a home. Employment, health and other challenges may create instability for new veterans and their families.
For Iraq War veteran Brandon Dunston, the North Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A, forecast on a Friday in late June overflowed with joy, opportunity and hope. Joy at being reunited with his 11-year-old daughter after a 12-month, 1,700-mile separation; opportunity as he looked to continue his secondary education; and hope for the future as Dunston and his daughter moved into permanent housing for the first time.
Just two short months ago, life looked much stormier.
"I was in Arizona for the last year and things were okay for a while, but some hardship happened… and I was in a hard place. I was going to come up here with family and kind of bounce around and I didn't want that, especially having a daughter," Dunston says.
Rocky transition
An eight-year veteran of the U.S. Army, Dunston's experience is an all-too-familiar one for many other veterans transitioning back to civilian life after years of military service. The myriad challenges they face – employment, health and reconnecting with family – are so closely intertwined that a setback in one area can create a domino effect of instability for these veterans and their families.
Veterans make up about 9 percent of the population, yet 13 percent of the homeless population. While not all returning servicemen and women will face homelessness, they may experience other types of housing insecurity such as costs disproportionate to their income.
"(The words) 'veterans' and 'homeless' should never be in the same sentence," said Mary Lockhart White, executive director and CEO of Community Action Partnership of Lake County (CAPOLC), which assists veterans and their families (including Dunston's) in the transition to permanent housing.
While the reasons some veterans may find themselves housing insecure or homeless are complex, post-traumatic stress disorder, poor credit, lack of financial management skills, challenges with employment and family dynamics may all play a role.
"A lot of times, especially with our young folks coming back from overseas, it may be hard for them to be integrated back into society… If their families aren't able to assist or deal with these issues they could experience housing instability or homelessness," says Jennifer Olden, program manager for the residential homeless program at the James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center in North Chicago.
The Department of Veteran's Affairs provides assistance to those with housing insecurity, but many veterans may not be aware of the resources or know how to access them, making partnership with social service organizations key.
New opportunity
For the past year, members of the veterans' employee resource group (ERG) at AbbVie's Lake County, Illinois, U.S.A, headquarters had been helping their fellow servicemen and women on community housing projects.
During AbbVie's Week of Possibilities – a time when over 5,500 AbbVie employees in more than 50 countries volunteered to serve the needs of the communities where they live and work – these same veteran employees led the charge to help Dunston and two other veterans move into new, permanent houses.
Partnering with CAPOLC, nearly 150 AbbVie employees cleaned, painted and repaired the three homes. The service project culminated in a key ceremony, which had special meaning to volunteers like Army veteran and AbbVie employee Jennifer Murphy.
"I've been out of the Army for a while, and to have found a company that actually allows me to go volunteer somewhere during a workday and puts resources behind it is particularly meaningful. I'm proud of my service and haven't had an opportunity to use it at any other company until I came to AbbVie," Murphy says.
Retired Air Force Col. and head of AbbVie's veterans ERG Richard "Duke" Hazdra spoke on behalf of the entire company at the key ceremony, closing out a week in which so many AbbVie employees made possibilities real, "Thank you for your service to this country and for keeping the air, land and sea safe."

Louis Tomlinson's ex-girlfriend has deleted her Instagram account after it was hacked.
Briana Jungwirth, who shares 11-month-old son Freddie Reign with the One Direction singer, has revealed her account was hacked last week (ends06Jan17), and now she has major "privacy concerns" about her social media presence.
"Taking a break from @Instagram due to obvious privacy concerns," she wrote on Twitter.
Jungwirth uses Instagram to post photos of her son.
A cyber intruder took over the account last week and posted a series of screenshots before explaining: "I hacked her to show her she needs to be careful with her Instagram account. Believe it or not I'm actually helping her a lot now she knows that she can't just put her information anywhere."
The 24-year-old regained control of the account and fired back: "You seriously have nothing better to do than hack an innocent mother's Instagram. You are sick."

April 03, 2017 08:35 ET
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - April 3, 2017) - Aurvista Gold Corporation's ("Aurvista" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:AVA)(OTCQB:ARVSF)(FRANKFURT:AV2) is pleased to provide a second update on the ~30,000 metre diamond core drilling campaign from the Company's Douay Gold Project ("Douay"). Aurvista has now received gold assays for an additional 10 drill-holes (see Aurvista's press release February 22, 2017 for results from the initial 6 drill-holes). The Company received significant gold assay intervals in nine (9) of the 10 recently completed drill-holes, with the most notable results extending known mineralization up to 500 metres along strike to the northwest of the Main Porphyry Zone. Highlighted results are listed below:
Jean Lafleur, President and CEO of Aurvista, stated: "We continue to test the horizontal and vertical extensions of known gold zones at Douay. Six (6) of the 10 new drill-holes were targeting portions of the potential western/northwest extensions at the Main Porphyry Zone. Ten (10) more drill-holes have been completed at the Main Porphyry Zone with assays pending and another 10 holes are still planned to test the full 1,500 metre potential west-northwest and east-southeast extensions. This latest drilling (including DO-17-169) appears to have added an additional 500 metre strike length to the northwest of the Main Porphyry Zone."
Full drill results from the latest 10 drill-holes can be viewed in Table 1 below:
Disclosure note: Intervals shown are core lengths in metres (m). True widths represent approximately 90% of core lengths.
Click the following link to view the full table of drill-hole statistics and gold assay results to-date from the 2017 drilling campaign. A drill-hole location map for the 10 drill-holes reported in this press release has also been published on the Company's website.
Jean Lafleur, President and CEO of Aurvista, added: "Ninety-three percent of the reported assays have returned intervals with grades greater than, or equal to the 0.5 g/t cut-off gold grade that was used by Micon to calculate mineral resources at Douay. We are very pleased with these latest results, as the drilling continues to expand the gold mineralization at the Main Porphyry Zone, which still remains open in several directions."
To-date, 11,363 metres have been drilled and completed in 29 drill-holes, which represents approximately 38% of the designed program. Drill results are still pending for 13 of the 29 completed drill-holes. The diamond core drilling campaign is progressing on schedule and on budget with three operating diamond core drills now on site. Drilling permits have been issued for the remaining ~17,000 metres of drilling. Refer to Figure 1 at the bottom of this news release to view the east-west gold bearing structural corridors, conductor anomalies and various gold zones being drill tested at Douay. Additional maps and figures will be added to the Company's website as they become available.
There are two overarching objectives of the current ~30,000 metre drill campaign: (1) to prove the new geological model by extending the known mineralization along east-west corridors in proximity to and within known gold zones; and (2) to outline additional higher gold grades in the range of 3 to 15 g/t gold, and lower grades in the 0.3 to 1.5 g/t gold, all with the aim of expanding and connecting several individual zones.
Drill results to-date have provided favourable indications that previously "un-mineralized" segments of the Douay West and the Main Porphyry zones are in fact mineralized. All of the drilling from the current campaign will be included in an updated resource estimate that the Company plans to complete by year end.
Quality Assurance ("QA") and Quality Control ("QC")
Aurvista implemented strict Quality Assurance ("QA") and Quality Control ("QC") protocols at Douay covering the planning and placing of drill holes in the field; drilling and retrieving the NQ-sized drill core; drill hole surveying; core transport to the Douay Camp; core logging by qualified personnel; sampling and bagging of core for analysis; transport of core from site to the analytical laboratory; sample preparation for assaying; and analysis, recording and final statistical vetting of results. For a complete description of protocols, please visit the Company's QA/QC page on the website at www.aurvistagold.com.

The American Athletic Conference today announced football schedule changes made necessary due to Hurricane Irma, including two changes to the UConn Football schedule.
UConn will now host East Carolina on Sunday, Sept. 24, at noon at Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field. The Huskies and Pirates were originally scheduled to meet on Nov. 4. Instead, UConn will now host South Florida on Nov. 4, a game originally scheduled to be played on Sept. 9. That game time has not yet been determined.
"I am grateful to the American Athletic Conference and its league members for their hard work and cooperation in making this change possible," said UConn director of athletics David Benedict. "Finding a way to play our complete schedule was very important to our team and our fans, and we all appreciate the amount of time and effort spent over the past several days to get this accomplished. We look forward to seeing UConn Nation out in force at the Rent on September 24."
The East Carolina game is being played on Sunday because Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field is unavailable Saturday due to a previously scheduled event. The game time, noon, will allow both teams to best deal with what will now be a short turnaround before their next contest.
Tickets purchased for the original East Carolina game will be honored on Sept. 24, and tickets for the original USF game will now be honored on Nov. 4. Additional ticket information regarding exchanges or any other transactions will be available via UConnHuskies.com and other UConn Huskies social media outlets.
UConn travels to Virginia this weekend for a Saturday, Sept. 16, contest against the Cavaliers. The game kicks off at noon, and will be broadcast on ESPN2.

Parkour Experiences
If you haven't seen it yet, you will soon. Parkour (also known as freerunning) is a form of improvised outdoor gymnastics. Using no equipment other than athletic shoes and a hefty dose of nerve, practitioners — called traceurs — vault over cars and brick walls, slide under park benches, and hurl themselves over natural and man-made structures, all with lightning-fast accuracy and efficiency.
Although the terms "parkour" and "freerunning" are often used interchangeably, some enthusiasts associate parkour more with efficiency of movement, and freerunning with artful expression. Many U.S. cities now boast parkour or freerunning clubs, and, assuming nice weather, you can often find traceurs flipping and diving around public parks and playgrounds, scrambling up edifices, honing their skills, and challenging each other to increasingly daring moves.
Watching traceurs in action — in person, at the movies, or on any of the thousands of videos on YouTube — it's hard not to be impressed by their agility, fitness and all-around athleticism.
As a group, traceurs have astonishing relative strength — the type of fitness you need to jump high, run fast, swing from railings and ropes, and perform body-weight movements like pushups and pull-ups with ease. Parkour also enhances grace and spatial awareness, so that athletic and everyday movements become smoother and easier.
"Every move is a full-body workout. Even the simplest vault requires exact placement and awareness of your hands, feet, and even your head, " says Levi Meeuwenberg, a freerunner with a long list of television credits and a member of Tempest Freerunning, which operates Tempest Academy in Chatsworth, Calif.
But parkour is more than just a flashy way of getting fit: It's also a creative discipline that allows the personality and style of each athlete to shine through. These athletes aren't just going through the motions, says Meeuwenberg: "We're expressing ourselves."
But isn't parkour mostly for fearless hot-doggers? "That's a misconception, " says Brian Orosco, an instructor at Tempest who has helped usher many newbies into the ranks of amateur traceurs. "To a beginner, high-level freerunning can look pretty intimidating. But you have to realize those people have years of experience. They've practiced those moves hundreds of times, building up from very manageable jumps and vaults. Getting good at parkour isn't about big improvements over short periods, but incremental improvement over long periods. You have to start slowly and celebrate small victories."
With that in mind, Meeuwenberg and Orosco — with help from plyometric expert Shawn Myszka, CSCS, SPS, owner of Explosive Edge Athletics in Edina, Minn. — have assembled the following parkour-inspired workout. It will give you a taste of the way these outside-the-box athletes build high-level strength and fitness — and how you can do the same. And if you get a hankering to try out some basic parkour moves yourself, this workout will help prep your body for the challenge. (See the "Run Free" sidebar for ideas about how to create your own freerunning course.)
Parkour Prep Course
Perform the following parkour-inspired strength-and-cardio workout two or three times a week. After the warm-up described, perform exercises 1 through 5 as a circuit, completing as many perfect-form repetitions of each movement as you can within a span of 30 seconds. Rest as little as you can tolerate between exercises, but pause for a full two minutes between circuits. Repeat for a total of four to six times through. For an added challenge, note how many reps of each movement you perform in the 30-second time period, and try to beat your record on each subsequent round — without sacrificing form or safety.
The Warm-Up
Multi-directional Jogging
• In an open space, jog forward, backward and to both sides to help "switch on" your spatial awareness. Stay on the balls of your feet, emphasizing relaxation and ease of movement.
Duration: Three minutes.
Quadrupedal Movement ("Q.M.")
• Assume an all-fours, hands-and-feet position with your hands and feet slightly wider than shoulder width. Bend your knees and elbows slightly, look forward, and distribute your weight comfortably among all four of your points of contact with the floor.
• Simultaneously lift your right hand and your left foot a few inches off the floor, step them several inches forward, and return them to the floor.
• Repeat the same movement with your left hand and your right foot, and continue moving forward, alternating sides on each step.
A Word From the Pros:
Q.M. is an essential skill for traceurs, who often have to move seamlessly between bipedal and quadrupedal movements — while vaulting, scurrying and scrambling, for example. "There are all kinds of variations on the basic Q.M. pattern, " says Meeuwenberg. "We play with all of them in warm-ups: moving forward, backward, sideways, and up and down stairs." Work on improving your skill so you can perform Q.M. effortlessly in any direction at any time.

Arce intends to establish roots in Kentucky
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Apprentice rider Josue' Arce, who left Florida after a decent Gulfstream Park meet to give the Kentucky circuit a try, scored his first Churchill Downs victory when he guided Diamondsintheway to a 2 3/4-triumph in the fifth race Thursday.
The mount was the 27th at Churchill for Arce, who said Friday: "I was hoping that would come soon."
Arce wasted little time getting his second Churchill victory when Lifes Crown won the fifth race Friday.
Arce, 20, migrated from Puerto Rico several years ago and began working as a groom at Calder. He began riding races in late 2004 and has fared respectably since, winning 32 races last year at Calder and another 17 at the Gulfstream meet that ended April 23. Overall, Arce now has 66 career wins.
Arce said his five-pound apprentice allowance is scheduled to expire within the next two weeks, but he is hopeful he can begin building momentum and become a factor for the remainder of the Churchill meet and at the Ellis Park meet that begins July 19.
"I really work because I love this job," said Arce, whose agent is Richard DePass Jr. "I came here to do my dream. I want to make Kentucky my home."
Brass Hat preps for Foster
Brass Hat inched closer toward his next race, the June 17 Stephen Foster Handicap at Churchill, when he breezed an easy five furlongs Thursday in 1:05.20 over a muddy track at the Trackside training center.
Trainer Buff Bradley once again acknowledged that Brass Hat, who finished second in his most recent start, the March 25 Dubai World Cup, is not a very swift work horse.
"He got something out of it," said Bradley. "For him, I think it was a very good work."
Also on the Thursday work tab was Suave, who was the beaten favorite behind Brass Hat in both the Donn and Gulfstream Park handicaps. Suave went five furlongs in 1:01.20 at Churchill.
Six probable for Louisville
At least six turf runners are expected for the Monday feature at Churchill, the $100,000 Louisville Handicap.
Einstein and Pellegrino will be the starting highweights at 119 pounds apiece in the Louisville, a Grade 3 race run at 1 3/8 miles. Other probables include the two-time defending champion, Silverfoot (118), along with Quest Star (116), Dynatonia (115), and Ramazutti (114).
A day for chalk
Short fields yielded small payoffs at Churchill on Thursday, when one of the least attractive programs so far this meet was offered. The first three winners on the nine-race card all were odds-on favorites, with the winning $2 pick three returning just $10.60.
The Thursday feature, which had just five starters after being transferred from the turf to the main track, was won by Fiery Dancer ($6.60), with Red Cherries Spin finishing third as an odds-on choice.
Heavy traffic on website
Churchill has reported that hits on its kentuckyderby.com website increased by 41 percent over last year during Derby week, from 8 million page viewers in 2005 to 11.3 million this year. During the NBC broadcast of the Derby, the website was serving more than 5,000 hits per second.
Jeremy Borseth, senior director of Internet operations for Churchill, said the track made a "number of refinements with horse racing fans in mind" to both the Derby and Kentucky Oaks websites for this year. "We are delighted by the customer response."
* Churchill is accepting entries for its annual golf tournament, to be held June 12 at Audubon Country Club. The shotgun format begins at 1 p.m. More information is available by calling (502) 638-6310.

What our clients our saying about us…
"We can't find the words to express our gratitude for the time and effort and care you put into our kickoff dinner for a weekend that has left us walking on air, not to come down for some time!"
C.L. (Dinner in private home)
"Just had to tell you what a resounding success breakfast was this morning! Thank you as always for your attention to detail and your care in preparing the very best food. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!!"
C.S. (Breakfast meeting)
"Thank you so much for your absolutely wonderful help on Saturday night! Julie was thrilled by the entire evening and all of our friends raved about the food, wine, and the fun they had talking with the three of you. From start to finish, the mix of flavors and presentation were unique and spectacular. I can't thank you enough for countless extra touches that made the difference."
T.H. (Private party)
"Thanks for a delicious catering event yesterday. When I went into the conference room yesterday afternoon at 4PM to clean up the food, several people were still lingering from the meeting … Sandy announced "This is Susan who got the food for us" and I was received with a round of applause, which of course is/was meant for you. I have just put out our leftovers here for the staff and they are devouring it . . . and thrilled of course for the delicious treat. Yes, the overall consensus is: THIS IS THE BEST HUMMUS EVER and THIS IS THE BEST CHICKEN EVER."
S.N. (Office meeting)
"I'm delighted to serve as a reference for On Safari Foods. Teresa Carew and her team have provided catering services to Attachmate's Seattle headquarters for several years and to say that they are wildly popular would be a huge understatement. Our CEO is in love with the special breakfast items On Safari serves at our quarterly management meetings and he always inquires in advance to make sure nothing changes. Other employees throughout the company rave just as passionately about On Safari's food every time they support us at other events large or small. Never have we experienced such consistent enthusiasm about a caterer. On Safari provides us with much more than simple nourishment. Their food delivers a palpable boost in energy and happiness throughout the organization.
What makes On Safari special? In addition to offering items that are incredibly delicious, healthy, and visually attractive, their dishes are truly unique and different from the fare typically provided by other caterers. The result is a smile and a "Wow!" every time people approach the table. Teresa's repertoire is vast and she always seems to know how to hit the mark for any occasion and budget. Add to this the friendliness, responsiveness, and exceptional service of On Safari's staff and it's clear why we so enjoy having them cater our events.
On a personal note, I should add that I've been so impressed by On Safari that I asked them to cater my wife's 50th birthday party at our home. The food and service they provided was exceptional in every detail and made the evening as memorable and fun as I could ever have imagined"

Santa Barbara, CA – (StockNewsDesk) – 12/09/2014 — International markets saw some profit booking, yet again, falling prey to declination of crude oil prices. Crude oil prices have fallen as much as 5% in a matter of two days from $67 a barrel to $62 a barrel. Developed economies see this as a huge concern, especially after the fact that middle-east oil-producing countries denied reducing the supply of crude oil production to the world. Saudi Arabia is the largest producer of crude oil with a market share of 40%. So it is quite natural for other oil producing countries to follow the country. As a matter of fact, the crude oil producing countries beat the target of producing oil. The countries collectively produced 30.56 million barrels, compared to expectations of 30 million barrels, for the sixth consecutive month.
The oil producing countries collectively decided to offer crude oil to Asian countries at a steep discount. This move is being taken to defend its market share from the booming shale business. Offering steep discounts triggered the fall in crude oil prices, making investors sceptical over global growth prospects. The fall in crude oil prices affirmed that oil prices have no chance of increasing, at least for the next six months. Experts believe the crude oil prices will be staying around $65 a barrel for the following half a year.
Crude oil prices gained volatility after Saudi Arabia took the competition from the U.S. shale business to the home ground by offering steep discounts. These measures were taken in order to retain its market dominance and compete with the U.S. shale business. Saudi Arabia offered decade-low oil prices to counter competition from U.S. shale business. The shale business has taken root on the back of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing.
Falling crude oil prices remains a threat to the developed economies from the perspective that there is a direct correlation between falling crude-oil prices and economic growth. A lower consumption of crude oil points toward a slow economy. Falling crude oil prices, coupled with the slowdown in Chinese economy and recession in Japan, might hurt the developed economies. Japanese lawmakers confirmed that the economy may be heading for a deeper than expected contraction. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in Japan for the fourth quarter may be lower than the Government estimates.

Ditch The Jeans for Culottes and Track Pants From ANTHOM - Racked
Ditch The Jeans for Culottes and Track Pants From ANTHOM
Thursday, April 10, 2014, by Adele Chapin
Did you shop super cool D.C.-based online retailer ANTHOM at Thread this past weekend? The ANTHOM crew's style is always on the cutting edge, so we wanted to see what they are loving for spring 2014. After the jump, co-founder Ashley Turchin picked out three sporty trends that can be dressed up or down. Keep reading, because it's culottes time.
Culottes: They're baaaack. "This higher waisted long short is a great 'fashion' take on a normal short or a-line skirt."
Sporty track pants: "Track pants are the epitome of easy, comfortable dressing with a bit of edge. These pants have replaced jeans in our book - this pair specifically has done very well for us, they are well-made in a silky poly blend so they're easy to dress up or down."

PSA: It took me many years to internalise the formal methods I know now.*
I use "internalise" as distinct from "learn", because, let's face it: we all "learn" statistics in uni, in the sense of briefly knowing a tiny set of teacher passwords, of knowing what a mode is, and of knowing how to dumbly apply two canned tests of inference.** But almost no-one with that badge on their resume actually remembers, actually uses, and was actually changed by contact with it, the driest and most nutritious method.
My measure of internalisation is if you use the method, without prompting by school or advisor, in your investigations. Internalisation requires some understanding, but I'm not saying that I have any deep grasp of these things. I just appreciate their power, and use them as well as I can where I can.

* This strikes me as worth stating, because the rigorous fields are so demoralising to tackle alone, and take so long for even very intelligent people to get comfortable with. In a standard mathematical education, we don't get to see the cockups or the thousands of fruitless hours that Jacobi or Germain had to put in, to win as they won. (The painstaking labours of Wiles and Zhang are at least a bit more available to us.)
** I have tried to learn statistics (that is, higher statistics, data analysis and inference) four times in my short life:
- 1) 2010: in the standard, cursory Research Methods module in undergraduate economics (I find myself not guilty).
- 2) 2011: to catch up with discussions on LessWrong
- 3) 2013: through a formal stats degree
- 4) 2016: on the job.
Only the last is sticking.^ But I was extremely lucky to get a statistically demanding job without credentials in the first place; I snuck in because my profession confuses people and my programming ability was so far beyond the spec that they halo-effected me in.
So where does everyone else actually learn stats?
^ Again, I'm using a strict definition of "learn": in the others I learned many terms and followed many formal derivations and clicked many buttons in many statistical packages, but I did not actually gain the statistical mindset, modelling ability.
*** Not even measure theory...

Gua Sha
Gua Sha is an oriental medical technique for removing blood stagnation on the surface of tissues. First, massage oil, or herbal liniment is applied to the skin and then a smooth flat or rounded tool is used to "press stroke" along a channel or muscle, or on trigger points. "Gua" refers to the "press stroke" motion, and "sha" refers to the redness that appears on the skin. Gua sha is often used on the upper back and neck to treat muscular tightness and pain, as well as to help with asthma and respiratory infections. Gua sha can be used anywhere on the body for pain including post hepatic neuralgia.
There is some wonderful research showing gua sha has immune and anti-inflammatory effects in addition to the evidence of dramatic increase in surface circulation: The Science of Gua Sha
Cupping is a medical technique which is believed to have first originated in ancient Egypt and is aimed at moving blood and energy in the muscles and channels to help alleviate pain and tightness, and to aid in detoxification. Plastic or glass cups are used to create suction on the skin. The cups often leave purple or red marks that can indicate areas of poor circulation and blood stagnation. These marks will fade within 1-6 days. Cupping is used primarily for pain, circulatory dysfunction, paralysis (post stroke), and treatment of colds and flus.
Tui Na
Tui Na, pronounced "twee nah", is a form of Chinese body work. The details of tuina's techniques and uses were originally documented in The Yellow Emperor's Classics of Internal Medicine, which was written about 2,500 years ago. I may use range-of-motion, traction, Tui Na and acupressure to stimulate channels, muscles, and acupuncture points before during or after treatment. This manual technique manipulates qi just like acupuncture, removing blockages and stimulating circulation. Fresh oxygen and nutrients flow into muscles and waste products are flushed out. This speeds healing and relieves pain. Tui na is especially effective for musculoskeletal conditions, but may be used to aid in digestive, respiratory, and OB/GYN disorders. Tui Na is included at the end of acupuncture sessions when indicated. Read more about the benefits of Tui Na here.
Moxibustion, often referred to simply as "Moxa" is a plant (Artemisia argyi Folium), commonly known as "mugwort" that is burned as a heat source to stimulate acupuncture points (Moxa has herbal healing uses as well). Moxibustion has been used as a treatment in Chinese Traditional Medicine for over 2000 years. Moxibustion can be applied directly to the skin using small rice grain sized moxa, at the end of a needle, or used above the skin. While acupuncture needles direct energy and physical resources, moxa adds energy of its own into the body.

I essentially went for a leaving party for a friend who is going to.... Kenya. In my defence, I love London and I had a free weekend at the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel thanks to the very generous prize I won in Cannes.
|Check out the 1920's Lunch I went to in Cannes here
It was also a great opportunity to catch up with my friend Siobhan who wasn't heading back to Nairobi for Christmas.
First impressions of the St. Pancras Renaissance were great. The building is just beautiful and I think it looks even better in the evening.
The lobby was incredibly warm and festive with plenty of people milling about or lounging on the comfy sofa chairs.
We checked into our twin room in the Barlow Wing.
It was nice, comfortable, and very spacious for central London, but there was no "wow factor". Also the view of a grey wall was a little disappointing.
I had similar feelings about the bathroom, it was perfectly fine but it didn't make an impression. I did have a snoop online at some of their suites and they looked fantastic! So if you are planning on staying here it's probably worth it to spend that bit extra and upgrade to a suite if you can.
|Not my room - this is the Haywood Suite
Where I really take issue with this hotel is when I logged into the wifi I discovered it cost a shocking £9.75 a day!!!!
Is it just me that thinks wifi should be included in the room rate? I honestly can't stand when hotels do this, especially when they are charging 5 star rates. Wifi is essential, I start to feel nauseous when I'm unplugged for too long.
Ironically, if you went down to the lobby you could pick up the FREE signal from the train station next door. Ugh.
Ok rant over. After settling into our room Siobhan and I met up with our friend Amar and strolled across to Carluccio's in St. Pancras station for a bite to eat.
|So sorry for the terrible quality of this photo and the random London badge, I saved it from my snap story!
On the plus side of the Renaissance, if you are coming in to London by national rail or Eurostar you simply can't beat this hotel in terms of location... it is literally attached to the station.
Once at Carluccio's we tucked into some tasty pasta dishes and sipped on some much needed wine after a long week!
We made great plans to be on time for the leaving party and then of course failed miserably. Eventually we sorted ourselves out and joined the rest of the group in Shoreditch.
|Cocktails at the Booking Room in the Renaissance
We went to the Hoxton Pony which was packed and played some niche R & B music. Despite not knowing any of the songs it was a great fun and lovely to see the London crew again!
It ended up being a rather late night so Siobhan I just about managed to drag ourselves out of bed at the crack of 10.30am to make it in time for breakfast.
|Morning Recovery
Such a good decision! There was an excellent spread with all the naughty treats you could want.
|The Booking Room - where breakfast is served
We then went back to bed... I know so lazy!
Like the nocturnal creatures we are, we re-surfaced as the sun went down and went in search of food.
We ended up in Narnia.
Ok it actually looked more like this..
|Welcome to Winter Wonderland
Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park... the home of flashing lights, ice skating, and endless stalls serving mulled wine.
Of course the churros were not enough to fill us so we left Hyde Park and made our way to SoHo for drinks and dinner at Lobster and Burger which was delicious!!
London, you were awesome as usual... next stop Nairobi!

On Monday, June 3, 2013, more than 500 VOICE leaders gathered at Woodbridge Middle School in Prince William County, VA to announce $30 million in commitments for VOICE's Prince William Restoration Fund. The fund will help launch a pilot to (1) rehab 100 abandoned / blighted properties for affordable homeownership & rental housing, and (2) develop 1,500 units of rental housing over the next 15 years in Northern Virginia. Commitments were:
At the action, Senator Warner credentialed VOICE's organizing and partners for the pilot, saying that he believed the plan could work "not just as a Senator, not as a former Governor, but as a businessman," particularly because of the local and national partners VOICE brought to the table. The plan is modeled after successful work to rehab and restore vacant properties and blighted communities in East Baltimore, working with VOICE's sister organization BUILD & TRF-Development Partners.

Six Grade I races are slated at Saratoga Race Course on Saturday, each loaded with star power and drama. They will go into the books as some of the best Thoroughbred races of 2016.
And they might all end up taking a backseat when determining the most stirring performance of the day.
Thirteen months ago, the racing community had a star on its hands in unbeaten filly Lady Eli, and 13 months ago, many worried if she would live through the summer much less make it back to the races. After her victory in the Grade I Belmont Oaks last July 4, Lady Eli stepped on a nail while heading back to trainer Chad Brown's barn and, about a week later, began showing signs of the often-fatal disease laminitis in both front feet.
Through some exceptional veterinary care, fortunate circumstances and the work of barn staff who would rarely leave her side, Lady Eli recovered from that potential tragedy and is making a remarkable return to the races in Saturday's Grade II Ballston Spa Stakes over the Saratoga turf. The race will go to post after the 147th running of the Grade I, $1.25 million Travers Stakes.
"It's a big deal," Brown said of Lady Eli's comeback. "She's been a long way back and I think she's training outstanding right now. I'm really excited to get her back out there racing again. I can just see that she wants to run and I'm letting her run.
"Lady Eli is made of steel, really, when you think about it. I'm a fan of hers along with being her trainer."
Before being sidelined, Lady Eli was one of the most explosive turf performers of either gender, racking up a 6-for-6 career record that included victories in the 2014 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf and a 2 1/2 -length win in the 2015 Grade III Appalachian Stakes at Keeneland.
"It's kind of like watching your child go off to kindergarten for the first time," said Jay Hanley, who is one of two managing partners of owner Sheep Pond Partners. "We've been here before and she's been great. But this is the first time she's been back off the injury."
Here is your weekend cheat sheet of the top racing action:
Grade I, $750,000 Personal Ensign Stakes for fillies and mares 3-years-old and up going 1 1/8 miles at Saratoga
Post time: 2:23 p.m. EDT
Watch: TVG
Key contenders: Grade I winners I'm a Chatterbox and Curalina face off in a rematch of their outing in last year's Coaching Club American Oaks when the former hit the wire first but was disqualified to second due to interference. I'm a Chatterbox most recently defeated fellow entrant Paid Up Subscriber in the Grade I Delaware Handicap on July 16 with Curalina capturing the Grade III Shuvee Handicap on July 31.
Others to watch: This compact field of five is packed with quality. Cavorting enters off a win in the Grade I Ogden Phipps Stakes on June 11 where she bested Apple Blossom winner and fellow Personal Ensign entrant Forever Unbridled.
Grade I, $500,000 Ballerina Stakes for fillies and mares 3-years-old and up going 7 furlongs at Saratoga
Post time: 2:59 p.m. EDT
Watch: TVG
Key contender: After being handily defeated by champion Songbird in the Grade I Coaching Club American Oaks going 1 1/8 miles July 24, Grade I winner Carina Mia cuts back in distance and faces older fillies for the first time in the 10-horse Ballerina field.
Others to watch: Sheer Drama ran one of the best races of her life at the 7-furlong distance when she won the Grade I Madison Stakes in her season debut at Keeneland on April 9. Wavell Avenue, winner of the Shine Again Stakes on Aug. 3, won the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint last Oct. 31 but has been 0-for-3 in graded stakes since.
Grade I, $500,000 King's Bishop for 3-year-olds going 7 furlongs at Saratoga
Post time: 3:35 p.m. EDT
Watch: TVG
Key contender: After three straight fourth-place finishes, multiple graded stakes winner Mohaymen tries to regain his mojo by cutting back to sprinting in a depth-laden field of 13.
Others to watch: While Mohaymen has back class, Tom's Ready looked like a horse who had found a niche going 7 furlongs when he exploded with a last-to-first charge to win the Grade II Woody Stephens over fellow King's Bishop entrant Fish Trappe Road at Belmont on June 11.
Grade I, $700,000 Forego Stakes for 3-year-olds and up going 7 furlongs at Saratoga
Post time: 4:12 p.m. EDT
Watch: TVG
Key contender: Sporting a perfect record through four starts this year, A.P. Indian puts his win streak on the line as he enters off a 1 1/4 -length win in the Grade I Alfred G. Vanderbilt Handicap at Saratoga on July 30. The 6-year-old Indian Charlie gelding is unbeaten in three career tries at 7 furlongs.
Others to watch: Also exiting the Vanderbilt are Catalina Red, who was third, and sixth-place finisher Anchor Down, a Grade III winner owned by Alto Racing and trained by Todd Pletcher.
Grade I, $1,000,000 Sword Dancer Stakes for 3-year-olds and up going 1 1/2 miles on the turf at Saratoga
Post time: 4:49 p.m. EDT
Watch: NBC-18, TVG
Key contender: Multiple Grade/Group I winner Flintshire won this race last August in what was just his second North American start and has been the clear class of the turf male division this season with victories in the Grade I Manhattan at Belmont and Grade II Bowling Green Stakes over the Saratoga course on July 30.
Others to watch: Money Multiplier, like Flintshire, is trained by Chad Brown and, while he may be a cut below his stablemate, he did run second in both the Grade I Man o' War and United Nations Stakes.
Grade I, $1,250,000 Travers Stakes for 3-year-olds going 1 1/4 miles at Saratoga
Post time: 5:44 p.m. EDT
Watch: NBC-18, TVG
Key contender: Trainer Keith Desormeaux openly stated he didn't love how Preakness and Haskell Stakes winner Exaggerator was getting over the Saratoga track earlier in the meet, but the ample rain in recent weeks has served to tighten up the main surface. In his most recent work, Exaggerator covered 5 furlongs in 1:00.95 at Saratoga on Aug. 20.
Others to watch: The field now stands at 13 after Grade I-placed Majesto was scratched Friday due to a fever and, really, one could make a case for at least 10 of the entrants. Laoban shocked everyone when he broke his maiden winning the Grade II Jim Dandy in July, Belmont Stakes winner Creator is attempting to rebound off a sixth-place run in that race, and Chad Brown has arguably the biggest buzz horse in the field with Curlin Stakes winner Connect.
Grade II, $400,000 Ballston Spa for fillies and mares 3 years old and up going 1 1/16 miles on the turf at Saratoga
Post time: 6:20 p.m. EDT
Watch: TVG
Key contender: The story of this race, and maybe of 2016, is the return of Lady Eli. If she is anything like the filly who reigned in the 2015 Grade I Belmont Oaks, it will be one of the memorable performances of the year.
Others to watch: Lady Eli is the sentimental pick, but she will have to earn this comeback against an extremely salty bunch that includes Grade I winner Miss Temple City and multiple graded stakes winner Sentiero Italia.
